Memories
opposites attract
they always say
& that was truly
the case with us
J was a rock as
loyal as can be
accepted me as
i am restored my
faith in humanity
and in men yet
talking about his
emotions was not
his forte nor was
communicating
whiskey & dope
& going out was
we talked about
us & how to fix it
yet we grew apart
i am so grateful for
being with J for the
laughs and the rides
& the memories made

Loving this stroll down memory lane, and especially the accompanying photograph. I really admire you for remembering the good and positive of the relationship. Too many focus on the bad - and even if it was bad, it's over and taught a lesson, that's priceless.

So happy to hear you love this one, Ahavati. Remembering the bad in a relationship will make you bitter and I rather focus on the good. Thanks heaps for your visit and comment :-)

Whiskey and dope never make for a long-lasting happy relationship no matter how hard you try.
Remembering the good times is adaquate enough.

Each has his own demons to deal with… everyone needs a friend to make memories with… or this world is a lonely place even with 8 billion people around

Dear D,
The poignancy of this write for me, is filled with gratitude and a realization of realities. Trying to balance the parts that are good and fun with those that aren’t is exhausting. I really admired the strength it took to realize a future acknowledging what was needed over wanted. Fab write. H🌷

Dear H,
It took me some time to let him go, due to the good parts. And even though it's 12 years ago I'm still grateful for the times we were together. It just wasn't meant to be. Thanks heaps for your heartwarming comment and for taking her home with you. I appreciate you 💕

I'm glad you're able still to look on the bright side as far as your relationship reminisces go, Duende. And I totally understand how being frigid emotionally can frustrate & put a strain on things, cos you sometimes just wanna know what they're thinking, right? My Father was the same, only, I wasn't going out with him; I was stuck with him, lol! Btw, don't you think your fella kinda looks like a younger Robin Gibb of Bee Gees fame? 🤣

That's in my nature, I guess, to remember the good parts. I believe relationships are lessons, the good ones and the bad ones. And we had some freaking great times together.
Robin Gibb, not sure - perhaps the eyes. Thanks heaps for your smile-inducing comment :-)

All the strengths come with their own weaknesses. When the memories remain good, the balance leans toward to positive side

There's always wisdom and appreciation gained from relationships where love ran deep. I can feel the connection that was and appreciate the window provided in this moment in your life. Thank you
